In order to appreciat,l-fully the evidence of this officer, let us consider the numerical force of the French army, and the instances in which the " hinge of their whole system of . discipline" has been recently employed. From the Papers bid bef)re the Commission by the French Officers we -ex tract Alio Niowing ; it occurs in a paper entitled " Report :o the Kim; on the ..kdrninistration of Military Justice during the year 1833 :" . 2 see., art. 13 2 sec., art. 11 . 2 see., art. 8 . 2 sec., art. 9 ditto 2 see., art. 11 " Ia 1833 the army consisted of 398,281 men, comprising the municipal guard and the sapeurs pompiers of the city of Paris; 6,881 soldiers were brought to trial, which gives the mean proportion of lin 58. But it should be observed, that in this number of 6,881 are comprised 32. natives of Africa. Of this same .number 6,831, 9 were referred to the ordinary tribunals, 2,200 were acquitted, and 4,672 were condemned_ namely, 93 to death, 209 to travaux forces ou aux fers, 140 to solitary confinement, 400 to the boulet, 760 to travaux publiques, 2,961 to imprisonment, and 7to be fined. Of the 93 sentences of &nth, only 23 were executed-2 in France, and 21 in foreign countries under military occupation. The 23 executions are thus distinguished : SMALL Pox.—A Correspondent says—" This cruel enemy to personal beauty and to life itself (the small pox), has lately been making great ravages amongst the infantine po pulation in the South of London, great numbers of whom have fallen victims to the virulence of the 41. ease. In one family, of the name of Matthews, in the parish of Bermondsey, five per sons took the disease, and from them it ha.; spread to the houses of several of their friends and acquaintances, who have been attacked. by the disorder in its most virulent form, and now lie in a very dangerous state. From the bills of mortality appears that 83G children died of the small pox within the ist year in London alone. It is to be regi-etted that the prac tice of vaccination is not universally adopted, and that where it is, many persons neglect to nee that the vaccine virus has Lon effect. It ought to be generally known that, unless the presence of the 'owpock is distinctly marked by the rising of: pustules, no safety can be expected from the attacks of the mall pox." WRECK OF A SCHOONER.—WC exceedingly re gret to state, that a schooner, supposed to be the London packet, bound to Antwerp, unfortunately got ashore outside .he bar on Tuesday morning, arid soon became a wreck ; but the most melancholy part of the story is, that the crew have all perished. As soon'as the cargo of ahe unfortunate vessel began to drift ashore at New Brighton, the usual scene of reckless plunder commenced, the inhabitants of the adjoining villages took possession of the beach, and breaking open the casks arid cases as they came on shore, filled bags, baskets, &c., and car ried their spoil off in the most daring and determined manner. As soon as this became known to Messrs. Chapman and Willis, the agents for Lloyd's, they applied to Mr. Dowling for his assistance, who immediately sent a force, under the command of an inspector, to the spot. Their arrival put a stop to the lunder, and they remained there until the property upon the Leach was secured and placed under the protection of Mr. Atherton, who acts as agent for Chapman and Willis ; and who, had he ventured to resist the plunderers until the arrival of the Dock police, would have been in imminent danger of hi 3 life. Surely it is time that these scenes of violence and robbery should be put an end to. A little management on the part of the Government would secure the unfortunate sufferers in such cases from these ruthless wreckers, by the establishment of a coast guard, cr by a county constabulary force. —Liverpool Courier.

It certainly reflects great credit upon Mr. Carter, when we announce this as the fourth year his chronometers have, by their uniform and steady rate, under great variation of tempera ture, been found deserving that high and proud distinction which the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have bee❑ pleased to confer. The extreme error, for twelve months, of Mr. Carter's ekronometer, No. 160, was one second, 47 hundredths. Here we have 23 sentences of death in an army of 393,281 men—a portion, and the chief portion, of the sentences arising out of active service in the African possessions, recently conquered by France. On this nu merous standing army we have two sentences for crimes committed in France, and they are for attempts on hu man life—an offence which, whether considered under military or civil law, would in this, or indeed in any country, be subjected to a like expiation. So that this " hinge on which the whole system of discipline turns in the French service" only deprives of life 23 men out of 398,281 ; and of these 23, only two are sen tenced on what we may call the home service of the French army. These are facts taken from the very vo lume of evidence published under the inspecting care of the Commissioners. And we ask our readers—we would even ask the Commissioners themselves—is there in this statement anything to justify the inference, palpably drawn in the report, to the effect that the French army dispense with corporal punishment because they have constant re course to the ultisnum suppliciunz of death ? In the name of justice, if we are to decide this queStion as reasoning, reflecting, and honourable men, let us dismiss such miser able misrepresentations, and grapple with the facts with a view to a final settlement. If our army cannot be main tained in its efficiency without the brutal degradation of the lash, let this he said with frankness and sincerity, and the opinion, however much we may differ from it, shall be treated with respect. But let us not be trifled with by a reference to foreign usages which, on inquiry, are found to be favourable to the national feeling, and opposed to the views of those who have called up such pregnant evidence against themselves. Yet let us not complain of this. However much we may disapprove of the course pursued by the Commissioners, we cannot regret that they have taken a line which has furnished an opportu nity, or rather created an imperative exigency, for a full and searching inquiry into the merits of a question which we hope soon to see decided on principles of justice and humanity, on principles alike honourable to the army and to the people of England.—Tinzes. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—A General Court was held on Tuesday afternoon, pursuant to adjournment, when Mr. Tarbutt rose to defend himself from the allegations of Mr. Alderman T. Wood, who had moved, prior to the adjournment, a resolution to the effect that Mr. Tarbutt be not permitted to enter the walls of the Hospital, unless when summoned to attend a General Court or Committee of the Governors. Mr. Capple (one of the Committee) moved, as an amendment upon this resolution, that Mr. Tarbutt's decla ration be accepted, which having been seconded was put to the vote and lost by a majority of 43 , the numbers being, for Mr. Alderman T. Wood's motion 56, and for the amendment 13. The Court then adjourned. James Wood, a journeyman butcher, was charged by Thomas Hinde, a tripe and trotterman, of Saffron-hill, on suspicion of stealing 53 trotters. The prosecutor carries on extensive business in the sheep's trotter way, and supplies most of the vendors of the articles which are commonly denominated for gentility's sake " legs of mutton." At an early hour yesterday morn ing a slaughterman, named Riley, informed him that the prisoner had trotted off with some trotters which had been hung out, and on going into the yard he found 53 missing, and he gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. LAING-Why did you suspect the prisoner? Pro secutor—Because he lodges in my house, and a short time ago I was robbed of some oil, and I thought as how he prigg'd it. Prisoner—l denies it. I never saw any of your oil in all my life. As for the legs of mutton, I nose nuffen wot sumdever about 'em.—(Laughter.] • The prisoner's master, a pork butcher, gave him an ex cellent character, and expressed his conviction that Riley took the trotters, and laid the robbery to the prisoner to avoid suspicion himself. Mr. LAING—Why do you suspect so? Witness—Be cause the other day I sent him home with some pig's chit terlings, and he took me in.—(Laughter.) Mr. LAING discharged the prisoner, who trotted off as fast as possible. irch 31 I a 2 e• — 0 !r. dto 06 7 0 n .•.2 0 " , t`? 0 18 . 7.; 34 ... " ....... d• " jl O T.

The Provost stated that the object met with his best wi s h es , but he considered that the t i me was not yet come when a d e: mon stration could be made with effect Several very import an t measures would shortly be submitted to the Lords, when their procedure would be s een, and, if the y a ttempted to • mutilate or destroy them, then would be the time for a national display of opinion. In the meantime, however, he thought the move ments of the Lords should be narrowly watched. The Coun cil were unanimously of the Provost's opinion, and a reply in accordance was directed to be sent to the secretary of the re quisitionists.—Greenock Advertizer. SHEEP STEALING.—Ort Saturday last three men, named Charles Kitley, Geo r g e Pa g e, and B erry Cartwright, who have for some time past f ormed p art of a desperate High g g a a n te g , of poachers and sheep-stealers , whose de p red ations have been Fi extended nehie y, to an dthe Tottenham,ne ighbour i ri n g e r villages brought t f i n H e o u r s n t s o e d y before W. Robinson, Esq., one of the Middlesex Magistrates, residing at the latter place, charged with having entered the grounds of Huntley Bacon, Esq., of Tottenham , on the morning of the 20th inst., with intent to steal,sheep ; and t he prisoner Kitley was charged with having fi red a loaded g un at a man named French, the bailiff of Mr. Bac on ; and the other two prisoners, with two more of the gang , w ho mana g ed to esc ape from cus tody,we shootin g re also charged rtghee bailiff. Th e d with having aided and and aarheetnteodw Kitley with with three prisoners were fully co mmitted to Newgate, to take their trial at the ensuing session. The chimpanzee died at the gardens of the Zoolo gical Society on Saturday week, and the body was examined on Monday. His death was occasioned by scrofulous tubercles in the mesenteric glands and spleen, with ulceration of tha in testine ; the former, most probably, of very long standing. The lungs were free from disease, evincing that the tempera ture of the atmosphere in which the animal had been kept, and the general treatment at the gardens, during the last six months, were proper, and would probably have succeeded for a much longer period, but for the pre-existing disease. 20,000 12,500 2,600 1,000 6/. per cent , 8,000 0,000 4,000 10,000 2,000 ...... 10,000 SL:g. 6,0.'0 10,000 10,000 20,001 1. 10s. 1...—.... 6,000 1 I;ouo We understand that an amicable arrangement has now taken place between the master and journeymen joiners, by which the latter are to receive 20s. a week.

On the 24th current the mate of a vessel in Leith Harbour and three of the shore porters took the ship's boat to go on board of a vessel in the Roads ; but they were over taken with a severe gale, accompanied with snow showers, and the boat drifted past Inchkeith and down the Frith. The weather during the night was most inclement, and unfortu nately losing three of the boat's oars she became unmanage able and filled with water, and in this state she reached the island of May about one o'clock on the following day. Shortly before the boat got to the island, Charles Ferguson, one of the porters, expired through cold and fatigue, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the three survivors scrambled to the lighthouse, where they were humanely re ceived iy the lightkeepers, but in so debilitated a state that for some time they could give no account of themselves. The lightkeepers, after searching, found the boat in a small creek at the in s outhernit, w e h n i cdhof theyth the carried island, the tehlei lighthouse, n o s f e ,and hoisted Fer guson floatin g the signal of d i stress for the attending boat, at Crail, but owing to the state of the weather she could not get off till the 25th..—Edinburgh Advertiser. 10,000 8,500 2,450 31. 20,000 6,155 2,000 11,500 30,000 5 !SOUTHALL CATTLE MA RKET.—March 3 (1 ; day's ' l :,, c l r; The supply of Beasts, Sheep, Calves, and Porkers, to 'ac's ,„ e of t ..,' , ,,S ket was moderately good.

WerO e' WHITE-BAIT.—At a late meeting of the or rian Society, Dr. Richard Parnell made an interesting_, e b of munication regarding the occurrence, in the- Frith of dog AO the noted little fish called White-bait, on which the L i eti nz ire" are wont to feast at Blackwall. Much dubiety hes,t'eoiol' vailed concerning this fish • English naturalists hav'ebavil dered it as the fry of the shad, and those of Edinburgi! overlooked it as the young of the sprat or garveY-h is now viewed as a distinct species, and called ChlP,e-atedfl” from its prevailing white colour. Dr. Parnell exhi„,ul,2oles cent specimens from the Forth, and also from the "joie ° errltW it ib a, and he minutely detailed the characteristic marks of tlist ligt ' t° between it and the sprat and young of the con°'ou herri the entire satisfaction of Professor Jameson, Mr. wilserni:roph Stark, Dr. Neill, and other naturalists present. Dr . t pO h d observed the White-bait plentiful at the stake-ne ts a. bel' ilP Queensferry. It is likewise common at Kinea rdine 'cru i li constantly entangled in the sprat or garvey-hev rin g a io. ,(1 but hitherto neglected on account of its diminutive - b a it, 6) . our fishermen were taught to discriminate the White- b 0 30: were encouraged to send it in quantity to the Editibul 61101 ket, they might find in it a new source of income , e a st perior to the sperling or smelt fishery.

(From the New London Price Current-.(This day.) SUOAR. -There having been several arrivals from the West Indies this week, in all 3,100 hhds. and trs. and 450 barrels, together with the large quantity of Mauritius offered at public sale, has caused the demand for British Plantation Sugars to become extremely moderate, holders have submitted to 6d. a ls. per cwt. lower prices. Th e accounts receiv ed from Ja maica state that the crop would not prove so plentiful as was previously anticipated, and that the bulk of it would be late, occasion importers in some instances to be very firm. The Market for West India Sugar continued yesterday in a life less state, and holders generally submitted to a reduction of 6d. and ls. per cwt. The sales this week arc only 800 hhds. and trs. The Market closed yesterday afternoon for the Easter holydays, and will remain so until Wednesday next. The demand for Refined goods for shipping has again become very moderate, and prices have given way 6d. ; small parcels of fine Crushed sold at 425., and at that price the Refiners are generally sellers. The Grocery sorts were neglected in the early part of the week, but since then there has been more business doing at very full prices ; goods generally are rather scarce. 220 hhds. Crushed reported to have been sold at 41s. 6d. ; at that price there are sellers for delivery. MAURITIUS.-The prices since this day week of all kinds of Mauritius have given way, and the public sales have gone off heavily. At auction on Tuesday, 9,297 bags, a great portion of which consisted of very low brown, these kinds went at 48s. a 545., being a decline of 2s. a 3s. ; the fair brown to fine yel low sold at 60s. a 655., being also 6d. a Is. below previous rates ; another public sale took place on Wednesday of 3,115 bags, which went 6d. under the prices of the previous day ; low brown went at 495. 6d. ; good and fine brown 60s. a 61s. ; good yellow 625. a 635. 6d. EAST INDIA.-In the absence of public sales nothing done by private contract : several arrivals this week, a portion of which will be offered at public sale shortly. FOREIGN.-The strong qualities of Foreign are much wanted, and would command full prices, but, owing to the scanty supply at market, very little has been done. It is reported that a cargo of Bahia afloat, not yet arrived, has been sold; the prices not transpired. MOLASSES.-Nothi n g done this week in West India; prices as last quoted. COFFER.-The prices of Plantation Coffee have been firm this week, and there has been a steady demand for the clean qualities by private contract. The public sale of 84 bags Demerara, of unclean quality, sold at fully former rates ; middling coloury at 935. 6d. ; fine fine ordinary 88$. a 90s. In East India the business done by private contract has been limited to small parcels of Ceylon by the home trade at last week's rates, 555. a 565. being paid. At public sale 106 bales Mocha went Ks. a 7s. higher, and fetched 68s. a 735. for very green to palish even green quality. The business done 'in the Foreign Market has been confined to cargoes afloat, for which very high prices are paid : for two of St. Domingo 525. 9d. paid, to be delivered at Hamburg; for two of Brazil offering . in the market 535. has been bid and refused, the holders wanting 545. RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The prices of last week remain very firm ; the market is now better supplied than has been the case of late, but at present there is very little busi ness doing. The arrivals of Brandy this week have pre vented business from being done. In Geneva we have heard of no sales. TALLow.—There was considerable interest excited early this week by extensive sales of Tallow for arrival at 435. 6d., with leave granted to the sellers to double the quantity at the same rate; since which the prices have been gradually rising to 445. a 445. 3d. for the last three months, and generally 455. now asked ; the request for parcels on the spot has also been considerable at 425. 6d. a 435. ; the Market is now well cleared of the latter. Yesterday afternoon parcels of Tallow sold at the advanced price of 445. 6d. a 455., to be delivered in the last three months.
